The semi-monthly is actually very thick, probably more than a hundred pages.

It is a very thick book, and it sells for a hundred copper coins.

It's not cheap, but there are already a lot of people who can afford it at this point.

The technology was improving, and later the price of a book was directly reduced to about fifty copper coins.

After the scale goes up, the price can be reduced again, as long as there are more people who buy it, and the quantity is raised, it is also possible to have a twenty copper coin.

When a semi-monthly magazine only costs 20 copper coins, it has the significance of mass circulation and mass dissemination.

Zhang Yu has people constantly transforming technology, from papermaking to printing, and continuous innovation will definitely reduce the price.

Zhang Yu took a few sips of tea and listened to the discussions of these students.

No one cares how these students talk about political affairs, don't do it, let alone make something out of nothing, it doesn't matter if the rest is okay.

In addition, there are many articles in the semi-monthly magazine, and those that can be published can be praised for a while.

"Do you know, this Cai Yong Cai scholar has finally completed the history of the Han Dynasty, a book, comparable to historical records."

Cai Yong has been repairing the history of the Han Dynasty for many years, and at this time he finally heard that it was going to be completed.

Cai Yong was so slow because after arriving at Jiangdong Academy, there were too many books, the collision of various points of view, and the generation of various knowledge, which made him change many things in the past.

There are a lot of things in it that allow him to study, and he can repair books while studying, so the speed is slowed down.

Although it has slowed down, the content is rich and the quality is very good.

There is a basis for this, because Huangfu Song, Zheng Xuan and others have already seen it and made some comments.

Several masters of Jiangdong Academy commented, how could there be a fake, this Cai Yong book has not yet been published, and I don't know how many people who print books have already targeted Cai Yong.

Once this is printed, it will definitely sell well.

is undoubtedly a fire book, which can immediately market the entire Datang.

Now, knowledge has to be paid, and these businessmen have to pay Cai Yong for each book, and they have to pay for it.

Many businessmen came to the door, and Cai Yong didn't take money, but after some persuasion, Cai Yong accepted the money and put an advertisement.

Quite simply, he wants to let people know that knowledge can make money, so that more people can participate.

In this way, more people can study and learn.

As long as you study hard, you can live well in various ways.

The person opposite Zhang Yu was also holding a semi-monthly magazine, but he didn't seem to be talking to anyone.

"This brother, you look at it so seriously, why don't you have the intention of discussing it with others?" Zhang Yu asked.

"Not interested."

Zhang Yu didn't know what he wasn't interested in.

Zhang Yu was inconvenient to disturb other people's reading, the other party was turning page by page, Mu Han had been listening, quietly listening to the students around him discussing.

"I like the engineering knowledge above, but it's just two articles at a time, which is too little." The other party finally put down the semi-monthly magazine and said.

"Engineering? I like that you can apply for an engineering school, there are a lot of materials in it, but you can look through it at will. Zhang Yu said.

"Alas, there is only one engineering college in the world, I am in Xuzhou, and my mother is seriously ill and cannot travel far." The other party sighed and said.

Zhang Yu understood, it turned out that he had a hard time.

Zhang Yu took a look, the other party looked in his thirties, dressed casually, like a rich man, not like a businessman or a student, Zhang Yu didn't feel like anything.

"This engineering science is not valued by people all over the world, and Mr. actually likes it?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"What's the use of studying, this engineering study is a really useful thing, it can create a lot of things, and it can enrich the country and strengthen the army." The other party said.

"I underestimate Mr., in Xia Mu Yunxia, I didn't know that Mr. had this insight." Zhang Yu naturally can't say that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he can only use a fake name.

"It's just a complaint, a few people in the world will go to learn that engineering, that is a craftsman, it is the lowest." The other party said.

The other party sighed, took a sip of tea and said: "Shinong businessman, in the past, the worker was still in front of the businessman, but now the status of the merchant is very high, and this craftsman is already the lowest existence, this is the general trend, and there is no way to change the fact." ”

"Alas, there are a lot of words, I am called Yibo, I was born as a craftsman in Jiangdong in my early years, and later opened my own workshop, but I made a lot of money."

No wonder the other party can easily sit here and comment on current affairs, it's really not good if there is no money.

"His Majesty the Tang Dynasty has set up the Royal Academy of Engineering, and it will definitely pay attention to craftsmen." Zhang Yu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty attaches great importance to it, but the people of the world don't pay attention to it, and it is not possible to change it overnight." Yi Bo shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Yu thinks he is a talent, likes the study of craftsmen, and is willing to study.

"You can write articles and submit articles, so that more people pay attention to the study of engineering, maybe it will have some effect." Zhang Yu said again.

The other person's eyes lit up, which was a good idea.

If the other party is really talented and can write good things, Zhang Yu will be able to pay attention to it, and he may be able to use it in the future.

Zhang Yu sat in this teahouse for a long time and learned a lot of things.

These are very important, Zhang Yu also heard some people arguing about the hundred schools.

Hundreds, Zhang Yu intends to involve other academics, and in the future, there will only be classics, and there will be no hundreds.

When taking the exam, the classics of each family are included, and only in this way can the culture flourish.

After prosperity, it will always be dominant in the future.

Zhang Yu borrowed the latest semi-monthly magazine from Yi Bo.

Half of it is current affairs, followed by articles on various aspects, including literature, history, medicine, engineering, etc., as well as some law, geography, physics, and so on.

Semi-monthly magazines are very varied, and only in this way can various disciplines flourish.

"It seems that a semi-monthly magazine is not enough, and we should also edit the monographs of various majors, so that some people with other hobbies can choose books to study, and only in this way can we prosper more quickly."

The hundred schools here are not the hundred schools of the Spring and Autumn Period, but there are more disciplines such as physics, geography, and arithmetic.

Zhang Yu wants to bring modern science over, but this can't be rushed, and people in this era must learn slowly.

Zhang Yu drank tea, flipped through the semi-monthly magazine, and read the articles on it.

"Brother Mu, this engineering can create things and generate value, but what value can literature and history produce?" Yibo said.

Zhang Yu felt that this Yi Bo was a bit extreme, and it naturally had a role in learning literature, after all, it could transform the whole society and make the whole society settle down in ideology and culture.

What Zhang Yu wants to do is to let all engineering people also learn literature and history, not just a craftsman.

"Craftsmen can rejuvenate the country, I agree with that, but literary history is inheritance, and it cannot be lacking at all." Zhang Yu said.

Yi Bo pondered for a while, nodded in agreement and said, "It's under Meng Lang." ”
